ATP 2026 PLANS: GRIGOR DIMITROV TARGETS BRISBANE; GAëL MONFILS' SOUTH AMERICAN SWING
As ATP schedules solidify, Dimitrov returns to his two-time title-winning tournament. Monfils, 39, swaps Europe for the Argentine Open clay.
ATP players are solidifying their schedules for 2026, and Grigor Dimitrov is the latest to say he'll be at the Brisbane International. This will kick off his year at a place where he's had great results, including two title wins.
Gael Monfils of France is planning his final year before retirement. He's going to play at the Argentine Open during the South American tour. At 39, he's changing things up from past years and will be back in South America and Buenos Aires for the first time since 2018.
Dimitrov in Brisbane
The Brisbane International has been a men's event since 2009, with a pause between 2020 and 2023. In its 13 years, there have been 11 different winners, with only Andy Murray (2012, 2013) and Grigor Dimitrov (2017, 2024) winning it more than once. Dimitrov, ranked No. 44, has been a standout at the tournament. Besides his two wins, he was also a runner-up in 2013 (lost to Murray), making him the only player to reach the final three times. This year's tournament is set for January 5-11.
Dimitrov last won the title in 2024, which was his most recent trophy. Since his big win at the ATP Finals in 2017, he's played in seven other finals but only won in Brisbane, beating Holger Rune of Denmark (7-6(5), 6-4).
In early 2025, he almost made it to another final, but he had to stop his semifinal match against Jirí Lehecka due to feeling unwell at 4-6, 4-4. Lehecka then won the tournament after his opponent, Reilly Opelka, retired early in the final at 4-1.
Dimitrov hopes to move past the physical issues that bothered him in 2025, causing him to retire from the Australian Open, Roland Garros, and Wimbledon. The Wimbledon issue made him miss much of the season. He's only played in one tournament since getting hurt in the Wimbledon fourth round (where he was ahead by two sets against Jannik Sinner). Dimitrov came back after almost four months at the Paris Masters, winning his first match against Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard, but then his pectoral muscle problem got worse, and he had to pull out before his second match against Daniil Medvedev.
Monfils to Buenos Aires
Gael Monfils, 39, continues to set up his schedule for 2026 and has decided what he's doing after the Australian Open. Instead of the European indoor hardcourt tournaments he usually plays, he'll be on the South American clay tour in February. He hasn't done this since 2018, when he got to the semifinals in Argentina (lost to Dominic Thiem) and the quarterfinals at the Rio Open (lost to Diego Schwartzman).
Most top players don't go to clay courts right after the Australian tour, but Monfils might be doing it this year to get ready for the European summer season.
Even though he hasn't said exactly when he'll retire, the Monte-Carlo Masters and Roland Garros will likely be important to him, giving him some of his last chances to play for his home fans. So, Monfils might be planning to get more practice time for the clay tournaments, where he really wants to do well.
The Argentine Open in Buenos Aires is from February 15th to 26th, as part of the South American Golden Swing. It's not clear if Monfils will also play in the ATP 500 Rio Open or the ATP 250 Santiago, making it a full South American summer schedule.
NOVAK DJOKOVIC LANDS IN ATHENS AFTER HISTORIC AUSTRALIAN OPEN RUNNER-UP FINISH
After a historic loss to Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic returns to his family in Athens to reset for the 2026 tennis season.
After losing his first Australian Open final to Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic just wanted to see his family.
Djokovic landed in Athens on Tuesday, wrapping up two weeks away from home and marking his 38th appearance in a major final.
For the first time ever, Novak walked away from Rod Laver Arena with the runner-up trophy. At 36, he became the oldest finalist in Australian Open history, but Alcaraz stopped him in four sets: 2-6, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5. The match lasted just over three hours.
This was Djokovic's first tournament in more than two months, and even so, he showed why people call him a legend. He cruised through the first three rounds and reached the last 16 without much fuss.
In the fourth round, Jakub Mensik had to pull out with an abdominal injury, so Novak got a walkover and saved some energy for the big matches ahead. But things nearly fell apart a few days later. Lorenzo Musetti took the first two sets in their quarterfinal, and for a moment, Djokovic looked like he might be headed home early. Then, out of nowhere, Musetti retired in the third set, and suddenly Novak was through to his 13th Australian Open semi-final.
Next up was Jannik Sinner, the two-time defending champ. Djokovic had to dig deep. Twice he came back from a set down and eventually won 3-6, 6-3, 4-6, 6-4, 6-4 after more than four hours on court. He fought off 16 out of 18 break points and weathered over 70 winners from Sinner, proving that belief really does go a long way. At 36, he marched into his 38th major final.
Djokovic left everything on court against Alcaraz. He started strong, but the Spaniard found his rhythm and took control in the second and third sets, racking up five breaks. In the fourth, Novak saved six break points early on and kept pace, even earning a break chance at 4-all. Then he missed a forehand he’d usually make, and just like that, his shot at a fifth set slipped away.
Alcaraz broke late in the set and sealed the win, handing Djokovic his first-ever loss in an Australian Open final. Now, Novak’s taking some time off to be with his family. He’s expected back on court soon, probably in Doha, but right now, only he knows how his schedule will look.
WHO IS SAMUEL LOPEZ? MEET THE COACH BEHIND CARLOS ALCARAZ’S 2026 AUSTRALIAN OPEN GLORY
Discover the touching moment Carlos Alcaraz saw coach Samuel Lopez receive a trophy after his Australian Open victory.
Carlos Alcaraz just pulled off something huge—he beat Novak Djokovic in four sets (2:6, 6:2, 6:3, 7:5) to win the Australian Open. With this win, he joins the legends of the Open era, becoming one of the rare players to snag at least one title at all four Grand Slams.
Here’s the wild part: Alcaraz is just 22. Actually, he turns 23 on May 5, so he’s still got plenty of time. This marks his seventh Grand Slam title already. For a bit of perspective, Djokovic had only one Grand Slam trophy at Alcaraz’s age.
Since he’d never won the Australian Open before, Alcaraz didn’t really know the drill for the trophy ceremony. His coach, Samuel Lopez, got a trophy too, which caught Carlos off guard—in a good way. Their partnership has clearly paid off.
Talking to the media, Alcaraz said he loved that coaches get recognised with their own trophy. He hadn’t seen that before and thought it was a fantastic idea, since a champion’s journey isn’t a solo effort. Watching Samuel Lopez get his moment meant a lot to him. “It’s wonderful, and when I saw him there, I was so happy because I know Samuel has been working toward this moment his whole life. For me, he’s one of the best coaches—if not the best—you can have on a tennis court today. For me, it was a magical and incredibly special moment: hugging him after the last point and also seeing him there, with everyone recognising what he deserves,” Alcaraz said.
Not everyone was convinced after Alcaraz split with long-time coach Juan Carlos Ferrero and started working with Lopez. Some experts doubted whether he could keep dominating the tour this year. But after Melbourne, it looks like Alcaraz isn’t going anywhere. Even without Ferrero, he’s still leading the pack.
With three more Grand Slams coming up this season, it’s shaping up to be a wild ride. You get the feeling that we’ll be watching Alcaraz and Sinner battling for the biggest prizes all year long.
